Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

So anyone wanna take a stab in the dark when MvM is coming? I did think it could halloween, but I think they'd rather keep the spooky macabre theme going. Could see it being tied in with Mann Co. for Manniversary? Or just happening in it's place.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36570152]iirc there's that chin hair for demo in the workshop already.[/QUOTE]can we have a link?

i really want the new scattergun to get nerfed badly , light speed running scouts are starting to get very annoying

I want the new flare gun to have a more powerful airblast

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;36570454]I want the new flare gun to have a more powerful airblast[/QUOTE] I want it to not have a 50% damage nerf... 15-20% would have been plenty...

You know what I want? Since the scorch shot is not really a viable weapon (in most cases), the only thing I like about it is the taunt, I wish the regular flare gun had it. Edit: Someone has to submit this as a community workshop idea, changeable taunts for certain weapons. Such as the regular shotgun having the frontier justice's taunt or vice versa.

[QUOTE=alexdom;36570414]i really want the new scattergun to get nerfed badly , light speed running scouts are starting to get very annoying[/QUOTE] It's already Underpowered enough, scouts running slower than engies that can't even jump

[QUOTE=alexdom;36570414]i really want the new scattergun to get nerfed badly , light speed running scouts are starting to get very annoying[/QUOTE] hell no

is it just me that doesnt like the particle on the scorcher?

[QUOTE=Lobster_fists;36570484]It's already Underpowered enough, scouts running slower than engies that can't even jump[/QUOTE] yeah , then deal 2 hit and run like hell , at least put the damage required for full boost highter

[QUOTE=k2.;36570521]is it just me that doesnt like the particle on the scorcher?[/QUOTE] I love the sound it makes, but the particle is basically screaming "Hey! I'm bright and burning! You should dodge me!" compared to the normal flare gun particle shot.

[QUOTE=alexdom;36570532]yeah , then deal 2 hit and run like hell , at least put the damage required for full boost highter[/QUOTE] I don't think you're understanding how badly it cripples scout. He shares the least hp in the game with sniper, spy and engie. While that may be just aces for them, since they're not in the front lines, scout is and kinda depends on his mobility to survive. To even get 2 shots in, you have to do some serious ninja'ing and just kinda hope you don't run into a pyro or sentry nest.

I dunno about you guys but I think the Scorch Shot is great for preventing cart pushes and point captures. The knockback can be pretty potent. I knocked a BLU Heavy off the bridge on that one PL Map with Little Chew Chew today.

Oh look, 1967... [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unicorn[/url] You can find stuff relating to unicorns in nearly every single recent-ish year.

Just unboxed a parrot. I'm happy now

Here's the history of Unicorns [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicorn[/url] History of Pyromania [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyromania[/url] And the history of Municipal Ombudsmans [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman[/url] Let's find the clues!

If anybody cares, the /v/irgins in the thread came to the conclusion that they needed to join together to form a group of time-traveling neckbeards called the Seekers in order to save Gabe, who was stuck in 1956 after a time-traveling error. All of Valve's games are messages from Gabe asking for help, and sometime in 1956, Gabe actually released a single copy of HL3.

I shouldn't have wasted my money on a scorched key...

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36571024]I shouldn't have wasted my money on a scorched key...[/QUOTE] I got the stupid mafia hat for scout, but ended up just trading it for the hat I wanted anyway (the Demo parrot). Basically I figured I'd either get a strange I wanted (rainblower), a strange I could pawn off (lollichop) or a hat I could trade for the one I wanted (as in, every hat right now in the crate is worth the same, so it's a good time to get in)

I can't even manage to pawn off the strange lollichop... [editline]1st July 2012[/editline] I got the cocktails too, but nobody seems to want them either.

Video of it in action: [url]http://youtu.be/nMmrKCdIzCo[/url] Maybe this will be one of the weapons in the next updates? [/quote] Sounds like a slightly modified Pocket Rocket, although this attribute works on any class, so it could be used on any class.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36566611]it also needs to explode into feathers on death, because seeing my limp, dead body there and the parrot just chilling upside down bobbing around doesn't seem right.[/QUOTE] they should have it fly away like the pigeons in the medic taunt

but it's full of whiskey!

Anyone care to give me a recap of the past ~50 hours of developments?

Well I got the scout bag, 2 strange rainblowers, the shitty soldier hat, 2 hazmats and a parrot. The scout bag is awesome too. Too bad I hate the hazmats and the soldier hat, otherwise it would have been perfect.
